Hi Christine. I also replied to you in email form but thought I'd answer here in case anyone else was curious.The purple, pinks and aqua were Krylon: Rich Plum, Watermelon, Raspberry and Blue Ocean Breeze.The green was Valspar - I'm not positive but I think it was Everglade GlenYellow was Rustoleum - I'm also not sure about this one but probably Summer Squash.If they are different than that, I will let you know!Kelly

What a great idea. I have a huge family and extra folding chairs are a must. Very creative. I'm your newest follower. Come check out my blog with you have a minute at http://sister-number-5.blogspot.com

So super cute! They look a million times better!I would love to have you add this to a collective link party I co-host, Eat Make Grow: http://www.hideousdreadfulstinky.com/2012/08/eat-make-grow-thursday-5.htmlI host along with two other bloggers, so one link shows up on all three blogs, and we feature a couple of bloggers each week. We're always looking for great content like this! Hope to see you over there.

What cute chairs! I help clients plan parties, and I think this would be a great idea for a party. (Paint a chair(s) to match the party theme and have it included in the party decor!) Would you mind if I feature on my site? http://sweetpeapartydesigns.com

I recently primed and painted some small metal chairs. They looked wonderful, but they started chipping right away. What did I do wrong? I used a cheap primer, but finished with Krylon. I'm bummed that I need to do them over again, but I need some advice on how to get them to be more durable. If anyone has any ideas, please email me mypatzer@yahoo.com. Thanks!

great idea and so much fun! For your overspray issues..there are stores that sell assoted types of sprayer that fit spray cans (I think they are sort of geared toward graffiti artists but they would be grest for this project!)

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to get the kyrlon paint to fix my ugly chair, and I'll also be redoing my daughter's old Dora folded chair with the fabric on it. I'll be spraying that one a different color to match the new fabric I'll be putting on. Thanks for the inspiration and the information!

Hi there...I had this problem a little on the backs...mainly because I was impatient. :) The backs are slightly slanted.I was trying to put the paint on too heavy. It really does take nice even coats. I have other spray paint projects with bad drips because I get heavy handed.I usuallly am able to cover it up with more paint...evenly applied. I suppose you could sand the drips a little before applying more paint.I hope this helps.Kelly

I LOVE IT!! Those are the most fun, super cute chairs. I need to go find me some chairs to spray paint...maybe I will talk my Mom in to it since she has a bunch of them. :) Did you have to do anything to protect the paint from scratching or chipping or are they good to go?

I absolutely love this idea. I host a lot of parties and chairs have thrown of the theme sometimes. This is a perfect solution! I love this idea. Thank you so much! The chairs at the local thrift shop are $1!

I just made some of these for my craft booth at a farmer's market. They take a LOT of paint!! as you said, 1 can per chair! I had 20 chairs, so it looked like I was going to go tagging when I bought them.

I am so excited I found your blog. I was just getting ready to move my grandmother's metal table and chairs to my girls' playroom for scrapbooking. Awesome idea for creativity and color. I cannot wait to get started! Thank you for sharing!

I was thinking about doing this to my shopping cart in pink (lol DONT JUDGE) but is there a glitter spray we can use also that is like spray paint? I figure if im going to go food shopping it might as well be fun!

I would enjoy grocery shopping a lot more with a sparkly pink shopping cart! :)I know Krylon has a couple different glitter spray paints in different colors. It just depends on how much glitter you actually want.Have fun!Kelly

Love it! You can also get a cheap (but pretty) vinyl tablecloth to recover the chair seats and table. It's easy and can be changed out if you get tired of it. Maybe a spray sealer would probably work well on the chair? Going to have to do this with mine!

Unsure about the cushions. You mentioned you sprayed them with a yellow Rustrolium Primer. How did you keep it off the rest of the chair? Or did you do the cushion first and not worry. Then just went over any yellow that happened to have got on the chair part. why Rustrolium on the cushion? To help the color attach and stay on?

The primer was applied first...and it was white. Primer acts to help the paint adhere to any surface so it is sprayed first...then dries...then the final color is sprayed on the ENTIRE chair and covers all the primer.

I wanted a good set of chairs to use when we have company. We seem to have a lot of tables but no chairs to use when we have company. I wanted a set of chairs that would not take up too much room, stacked well together and were lite weight. I found these chairs on Amazon and did some comparisons to the leading chair on the market. They were very close in comparison except nearly half the cost. I am a fairly good size man, and when I sat in the chairs I did not feel that it was not going to hold me for my size. It formed to my posture keeping me upright and comfortable. The tubing is steel with rivets at all the points of motion. The seat and back are made of what looks like a strong plastic and are held in with numerous Philips screws, flush fit. This is nice if ever I want to remove them for cleaning or possible replacement. I believe these chairs will last me for years to come and were a perfect fit for my needs. Thanks.

Hi! My name is Kelly...I'm just a girl who likes to make things. I have a full-time job that offers little in the way of creativity...so this is my creative outlet. I enjoy photography and DIY and pretty stuff...but I'm not perfect. I just make it up as I go along.
